Well I found that the RAM is very important unless you want to have your cities small with no workshop content. I had 4GB and at first the game was fine but as it got bigger and I added workshop content, the game would lag and freeze. I would have to watch the time bar to know if I could scroll or not. I upgraded to 16GB and this completely eliminated all lag and freeze. Proof enough to me that this game is memory dependent.

Well to each his own in regards to the value of content on the workshop. Just because I don't care for it does not mean nobody will so I agree it should be open for anyone to submit to. That being said, I also agree it is hard to scroll through so much content that I don't care for to find what I am looking for. Maybe having required tags for better searches would help. I do like Cyclone's idea of having a content spotlight. Something where the items could be voted on and sorted by the number of users who "liked" the entry.

Excellent work, your city looks great. I really like the rail yard and the maps!

CBD=central business district (downtown)

The Spire is growing on me. I like the look. I agree with others that the 80 South Street is very bizarre.

It certainly is different. It looks like snake skin.

I got SCS as a gift. Some features are a plus from SC4 (graphics,sandbox mode) but they also took away a lot of good features that SC4 has (transport options,region play). I also do not like having to plop each building, there is not enough diverse buildings of each type to make a really good looking large city I believe. I would buy it if you want to. I don't think you can make a statement to EA buy not buying it. It will make money for them either way since there are players who like the game a lot. I am sure they have a pulse on the community and know what the players have been saying about the game. The question is, what will they do about it?

I use a combo of real and made up names but always ones that sound like real towns.

Excellent update. Those plazas look awesome.

I was going to mention the story about Brady and Moss pulling out of the Probowl but was beaten to the punch. No word on why. Brady may be legit with his ankle but what is Moss excuse? Greekman- looking forward to next year, everyone is 0-0.

Pats- I myself like to analyze why teams play better in some games over others. I thought the Giants would win this SB because of the underdog/overconfident angle mostly. Basically the Giants new they had to play better because they already lost to the Pats. On the other hand, even though Belicheck is a master at motivating his players, how could the Pats think they had to play better? They already beat the Giants and everyone else. Anyway, I think this may have been some factor. The other thing I saw is that the Pats generally make no mistakes when the game is on the line and I was surprised to see plays going the Giants way (missed interception). They had a number of close games this year (Baltimore/Philly) but the plays went their way when they needed them to. Yea, I know Pats fans will say this is because the Pats are a good team while everyone who cheers for the other team will say they get lucky. When it happens in the Pats favor so many times, I know in this case the Pats are good more than lucky. Anyway, it was a good game with three lead changes in the 4th.

Ok, That was a great game. Fairly boring in 2nd and 3rd quarters but three lead changes in the 4th and a TD to win with 40 seconds to go. I was glad to see the Giants win because I was tired of hearing how the Pats could not lose even one game. I am not a big fan of Tom Petty but I agree he chose good songs.

This is a very funny CJ. Great work and keep it coming. The Bribes were great.

That's not very much information to go by. It would be nice if they added the features already present in SC4 that are missing like highways and region play. The only areas SCS shines above SC4 is the sandbox mode and the graphics. Other than that, they have a lot of ground to make up to surpass SC4.
